Repiping
Repiping Your Orlando Home
Outdated, leaky, or deteriorating water pipes can make your life stressful and put your Orlando home at risk for water damage.
You can regain peace of mind and reliable plumbing by repiping your home. Our qualified pros at Hers & His Plumbing are experienced in whole-house repiping, select pipe replacement, and pipe repairs. Contact us to assess your plumbing system and recommend improvements.
The appropriate plumbing fix may involve a simple repair or a single pipe replacement. However, a plumbing system with extensive damage, or many outdated, deteriorating pipes, can be a good candidate for whole-house repiping.
If we recommend whole-house repiping, we will explain what the project entails, how long it will take to complete, and how much it will cost.
Hers & His Plumbing specializes in plumbing projects for homes and businesses in Orlando, FL, and the surrounding areas. We handle leak repairs, sewer repairs, clogged drains, water heaters, and other services. Call us today for a free consultation.
When Should You Repipe?
A major renovation or addition to your Florida home is the perfect time to replace your old water lines as a proactive measure. Replacing deteriorated lines during accessible renovation work can reduce later disruption, although future plumbing repairs may still be needed.
Other reasons for repiping include:
- Your pipes are galvanized steel, lead, or polybutylene, all outdated materials. Galvanized steel can corrode, accumulate sediment, and leak. Lead in the zinc coating on the steel may leach into the water. Lead pipes jeopardize your health. Polybutylene pipes can crack and become brittle as they age.
- Your aging pipes may be leaking behind walls and above ceilings. Water stains and increasing water bills may indicate a hidden leak. Musty odors also point to leaks that can encourage mold growth in your home. Mold and mildew can trigger allergy and asthma symptoms, irritate the eyes, and cause skin rashes and other health problems.
- Rusty pipes can change the color of your water and give it a metallic flavor.
- Sediment buildup and corrosion may restrict water flow.
We offer flexible financing packages to help you purchase the plumbing equipment your home needs. At Hers & His Plumbing, we take your safety and comfort seriously.
Repiping Process
Our experts at Hers & His Plumbing will inspect and assess the need for repiping. If whole-house repiping is the best solution for your plumbing problems and you decide to proceed with it, we will help you select replacement pipes. Copper pipes or PEX tubing are sturdy, reliable options.
The amount of time needed for repiping varies from house to house and depends on the extent of the plumbing system and the ease of accessing it. A two-story Orlando home with five bathrooms takes more time to repipe than a bungalow with one bathroom.
We strive to finish every job as quickly as possible without cutting corners on quality. We know how inconvenient it can be to experience a water shut-off.
After your plumbing is replaced, you can rest assured that it will meet all state and local codes.
What You Gain By Repiping
New plumbing enhances your Orlando home and adds value. If you decide to sell your home, it can be an attractive feature for potential buyers.
Replacing corroded supply pipes can address discoloration originating inside those pipes. Water-quality problems from another source may require separate investigation.
New supply piping can reduce problems caused by deterioration in the replaced lines; pressure issues elsewhere in the system still need diagnosis.

What Should a Repiping Estimate Include?
Ask which supply lines and connections will be replaced, how crews will reach them, and whether wall or ceiling restoration is included. Discuss the expected water-shutoff periods, material options, testing and any permit or inspection requirements. A written scope makes it easier to compare whole-house repiping with replacement of a smaller affected section.
If the cause of the problem is uncertain, begin with leak detection or pipe-repair assessment. Repiping water-supply lines is different from repairing a sewer line. For service in the Atlanta area, see our Atlanta repiping page.
